Black gas-strut kit controls tailgate drop on Ford F-150 2015-2020 for smooth, hands-free operation

  • TypeAT - Garage & Shop

  • Stainless steel piston rod ensures smooth operation
  • Upgraded all-metal end brackets add structural strength
  • Shield cover blocks dust for reliable sealing

Vehicle fitment

This gas-strut kit is designed specifically for the Ford F-150 produced between 2015 and 2020. It replaces the original tailgate lift supports to restore controlled opening and closing motion. The set includes the shock, two mounting plates, a Torx wrench and a button-head bolt for a direct bolt-on installation.

Who this suits

Ideal for owners whose tailgate drops too fast or requires manual support while loading. The kit helps the gate open slowly and holds it open without hands, protecting cargo and preventing damage to surrounding areas. Not suited for other truck models, earlier or later F-150 years, or buyers needing a complete tailgate assembly replacement.

Critical specification

The strut uses an M8x1.25 thread with an 11 mm hole diameter and 15x8 mm hole spacing on the mounting plates. These exact dimensions must match the factory mounting points on the 2015-2020 F-150 for the kit to fit and function correctly.

Highlights

  • Controlled tailgate drop prevents sudden slamming
  • Thickened carbon steel cylinder resists wear and corrosion
  • Stainless steel piston rod ensures smooth operation
  • Upgraded all-metal end brackets add structural strength
  • Shield cover blocks dust for reliable sealing

Questions about this item

Will the 23.5 cm strut length clear the existing tailgate hinges on my 2015 F-150?

The kit is built to the factory mounting points for Ford F-150 2015-2020, so the 23.5 cm strut aligns with the original hinge geometry without interference.

How do I verify the gas strut is controlling the drop rate correctly after I bolt it on?

Open the tailgate fully and release it; the gate should descend smoothly and stop without slamming, showing the strut is regulating speed as designed.

Does the box include both upper and lower mounting brackets, or do I need to source a second bracket?

The package supplies one shock, two ball mount plates (upper and lower), a Torx wrench, and a button-head bolt — all hardware needed for a complete install.
